Leadership Greg Kester Director Gerlinde Higginbotham Deputy Director *** NEW "C" School Information *** ***AUXDATA II Training Resources*** National Training Directorate Appropriate and effective training of our members is key to a highly evolved, dynamic, effective, and efficient organization. Training enables us to become valuable partners with the Coast Guard helping them meet mission objectives. Also, we meet our commitment to being of service not only to the maritime community but the community as a whole. The Training Directorate is committed to providing the best training available, economically, utilizing the latest techniques in multimedia, online delivery of materials, online distance learning, and online self and proctored testing. Available to members are presentations, videos, instructional guides, DVDs, and online classrooms that cover the skills, interests, and qualifications that our members desire or need to have. Member Training for All Auxiliarists in All Disciplines Member Training includes all training provided in and by the Coast Guard and Coast Guard Auxiliary for Auxiliary members. It spans the following directorates: Response, Prevention, Vessel Examination, Public Education, RBS Outreach, Public Affairs, and Training. It includes AUXOP courses, Certification Courses, Public Education Courses, Mandatory Workshops, and Mandated Training. Training sources include Manuals, Power Points, Personal Qualification Guides (PQS), Exams, or password protected online websites.

The Department is organized into six (6) Divisions: Instructional Services, Advanced Training, Leadership, Distance Learning, Advanced Distance Learning Management, and Training Project Office.

This division incorporates subject matter experts (SMEs) in both writing and field-support capacities. Leadership The Leadership Division is headed by Dr. Michael Brzezicki and is responsible to bring to you the very latest in leadership techniques, strategy, and methodology. The Division is staffed by members with years of experience in leadership. Alternative Training The division oversees the Auxiliary Online Classroom and provides support to the National Help Desk .
